People need motivation to do anything. I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation.
— Jim Carrey
Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don't limit myself.
I've arrived at the place if I'm not taking a career risk, I'm not happy. If I'm scared, then I know I'm being challenged.
I really believe in the philosophy that you create your own universe. I'm just trying to create a good one for myself.

Morgan Freeman is so class. He's so cool. He's so scary.

I want to be the greatest actor that ever lived, frankly. I'd love that. But I don't need to be. I just want to be here. That's it.
I just want to be myself.
But, you know, you can't be a star at home.
That's the trouble with being me. At this point, nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they'd be like, 'Yeah, big deal. I'd eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you're pulling down.'
